But, don’t worry, Tunisian national team goalie Mouez Hassen is here to help.

As his teammates are fasting for Ramadan — Muslim tradition where you can’t eat or drink between sunrise and sunset until June 14 — the 23-year-old ‘keeper has found a clever way to help his teammates: faking an injury.

In each of Tunisia’s last two World Cup friendly games, Hassen has taken an “injury” break when the sun goes down. It has given his teammates a chance to re-energize on the sideline dates and water.

Fun fact:Tunisian National team has played the last two friendlies while fasting. So, whenever the time comes to break Fast. The players have an agreement that the GK would go down so they can get a moment to drink some water and get something to eat 😂😂#Ramadan#tunisiapic.twitter.com/4Rgz380ukW
